Payment research for this provider
The compiled notes distinguish confirmed channels from details the public material did not expose. Fields containing only an unavailable-information marker are grouped in the research record below.
- Payment platform
- Tyler Technologies Municipal Online Payments / Utilities Access
- Phone payment number
- (888) 421-9508 for the 24/7 automated payment system; the Utility Collections page also lists (877) 281-0607 for the automated system, so customers should follow the current number displayed in their official account notice.
- Mail-in payment address
- The reviewed payment pages do not publish a separate water-bill lockbox address. Utility Collections is at 1300 Seventh Street, Wichita Falls, TX 76301; the Water Distribution contact lists P.O. Box 1431, Wichita Falls, TX 76307 for water-distribution correspondence. Customers should use the remit address printed on the bill for mailed payments.
- In-person payment
- Utility Collections, 1300 Seventh Street, sixth-street entrance, Wichita Falls, TX 76301, Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. Residents can establish service and make deposits there. The reviewed current pages do not list a separate counter/drop-box directory, while the online Utilities Access and automated phone system are available 24/7.
- Digital payment methods
- The current City payment materials identify credit/debit card payments and eChecks through Tyler Payments; older City material also described PayPal, PayPal Credit, Venmo and Amazon Pay through the prior self-service system, but those alternatives are not treated as guaranteed current methods. Bank-draft and online account payments are available.
- Online convenience fees
- Credit-card payments through the Utility Collections counter, IVR, Resident Access or City website are charged no more than 3.5% with a $2.50 minimum. Tyler eChecks are no more than $1.95 per transaction; IVR payments can add up to $0.50 in addition to card/eCheck fees.
